Mick Jagger. 65 Years Young Today
The Times of London labelled him the “Duracell Bunny of ancient rockers” as Mick Jagger turns 65 years old today. But the newspaper goes on to say, wryly, that one thing Mick “assuredly will not be worrying about this morning is how he is going to manage on his £87-a-week old age pension.” He’s 65 and worth about $450 million and with no hint of ever slowing down the gravy train. He’s been managing his money wisely for years. Not a stupid rock star by any means. I mean, the guy only pays about 2% taxes on his fortune ala Amsterdam.
And you won’t see Jagger pulling a Ronnie Wood any time soon.
“It’s all right letting yourself go as long as you can let yourself back,” he has said.
The Rolling Stones founder and guitarist Brian Jones (above, far right) made it to only 27 due to his excess. Mick is making it to 65 and beyond. He really is that Duracell Bunny The Times was referring too. However, he still has a few years to catch up to Chuck Berry, who is still performing the duck walk at 83.

There was a feature about Jagger’s 65th on our news just now. He officially qualifies for his retirement pension now – not that he needs it. And they said that in his hometown of Dartford, he has a road – Jagger Close – named after him. The snag is, it’s all sheltered accommodation for retired people!

He’s the same sign as PAD! Coincidence?
